The 21 Most Romantic Movies of All Time

It's easy to look down on romance movies. They’re cheesy, predictable, and so rarely decent. Still, in a sea of garbage films, a few stand out, and even teach us a few valuable lessons. Luca Guadagnino's Call Me By Your Name took audiences through a complicated coming-of age story and ultimately taught us that love is never really that simple. The immensely underrated Definitely Maybe proved love don't follow a straight line; it often veers off course and sometimes into unexpected places. Andthe classic When Harry Met Sally taught us that a love story can unfold slowly, rather than all at once (and that faking an orgasm is easy if you try.)

So put on your comfiest pajamas and get that special someone next to you. Here are 21 of the best romantic movies to help make your Valentine's Day extra romantic.
